Broiling

Broiling is a delicious alternative for cooking meat, poultry and fish during colder months when you can't grill outdoors. This quick, dry-heat method is commonly used for tender cuts of meat, or with less tender cuts that have been marinated.

Broiling caramelizes and chars food, which provides the appealing flavor you get from grilling.

Broiling is a quick cooking method that "seals" the outside of food to keep natural juices and flavors locked in.

Broiling can also be a healthful cooking method. Like grilling, you don't have to add fat during broiling and the fat from the food drips away as you cook.

Broiling Tip...

Use a broiler rack if possible. It allows excess fat to drip away and evens out cooking.

Line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil for easier clean up.

Turn your oven to "broil" and preheat for 5 minutes.

For electric ovens leave the oven door slightly ajar while cooking. This allows heat to escape and keeps food from baking. For new model gas ranges keep the door closed. Consult your owner's manual for specifics.

You can control cooking by raising and lowering the oven rack to adjust the distance of the food from the broiling element. Also, some newer oven ranges allow you to adjust the broiling temperatures.

Use tongs instead of a fork to turn meat. This prevents meat juices from escaping.

Because broiling uses high heat, make sure to watch food carefully as it can easily burn.
